  • HYBRID BEINGS and REPRESENTATION of POWER in the PREHISTORIC PERIOD PREHISTORİK DÖNEMDE KARIŞIK VARLIKLAR VE GÜCÜN TEMSİLİ Sevgi DÖNMEZ
    TAD, C. 37/ S. 64, 2018, 97-124. HYBRID BEINGS AND REPRESENTATION OF POWER IN THE PREHISTORIC PERIOD PREHISTORİK DÖNEMDE KARIŞIK VARLIKLAR VE GÜCÜN TEMSİLİ Sevgi DÖNMEZ Makale Bilgisi Article Info Başvuru:31 Ocak 2018 Recieved: January 21, 2018 Kabul: 29 Haziran 2018 Accepted: June 29, 2018 Abstract A great change in humankind's cognitive and symbolic world with the start of the Upper Paleolithic period around 40 thousand B.C.E. Depicted works of art describing hybrid creatures have emerged during the Upper Paleolithic period in parallel with emergence of hunter cultures. Ancient forms of Shamanism, a popular belief system among hunter cultures, had an effect on emergence of these hybrid figures. Imitation of the strong and the intelligent within the animal kingdom and the humankind's thirst for merging developing its physical and intellectual capacity with this power are among the main dynamics behind emergence of hybrid figures. The humankind of the Upper Paleolithic period, which has seen the world with a sense of permeability among species and an animalistic sensitivity and vigor, had a cognitive world within which things and humans must have been at the same level and forming a unity. During breakage of this unity and a sense of "togetherness," the hunter tries to balance the fear and suspense caused by prohibition of violence against those that exist at the same level and spiritual unity with mythical thinking. Prohibition of violence gave way to a cognitive status that identifies with the prey. This new symbolic consciousness which has emerged during the Upper Paleolithic period has tried to find a balance between controlling the suspense and fear caused by violence directed against the strong and the wild and the strength of the victim.

  • The Meaning of the Dots on the Horses of Pech Merle
    Arts 2013, 2, 476-490; doi:10.3390/arts2040476 OPEN ACCESS arts ISSN 2076-0752 www.mdpi.com/journal/arts Article The Meaning of the Dots on the Horses of Pech Merle Barbara Olins Alpert Professor Rhode Island School of Design, retired, 70 Esplanade, Middletown, RI 02842, USA; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-401-847-4909 Received: 26 September 2013; in revised form: 19 November 2013 / Accepted: 20 November 2013 / Published: 13 December 2013 Abstract: Recent research in the DNA of prehistoric horses has resulted in a new interpretation of the well-known panel of the Spotted horses of Pech Merle. The conclusion that has been popularized by this research is that the artists accurately depicted the animals as they saw them in their environment. It has long been evident that some artists of the European Ice Age caves were able to realize graphic memesis to a remarkable degree. This new study of the genome of ancient horses appears to confirm the artist’s intention of creating the actual appearance of dappled horses. I will question this conclusion as well as the relevance of this study to the art by examining the Spotted horses in the context of the entire panel and the panel in the context of the whole cave. To further enlarge our view, I will consider the use of similar dots and dappling in the rock art of other paleolithic people. The visual effect of dots will be seen in terms of their psychological impact. Discoveries by neuroscientists regarding the effect of such stimuli on human cognition will be mentioned.

  • Global Prehistory
    Global Prehistory 30,000-500 BCE The Origins of Images Key Points for Global Prehistory • Periods and definitions • Prehistory (or the prehistoric period) refers to the time before written records, however, human expression existed across the globe long before writing. • Writing emerged at different times in different parts of the world. The earliest writing is found in ancient Mesopotamia, c. 3200 B.C.E. • Homo sapiens (modern humans are a subspecies) - homo sapiens migrated out of Africa between 120,000 and 50,000 years ago. • The stone age is a prehistoric period when stone implements were widely used. The stone age is divided into the Paleolithic (old stone age) and Neolithic (new stone age). After the Stone age, the next periods are known as the bronze age and the iron age. Key Points for Global Prehistory • Historians distinguish the Neolithic period by the transition from people living as hunter-gatherers to the development of farming and the domestication of animals. The "Neolithic revolution" allowed people to create a more settled way of life. This happened at different times in different parts of the world. The first agriculture occurred in southwest Asia—in an area historians call the "fertile crescent." • Prehistory was a time of major shifts in climate and environment. • Modern archaeology uses a stratigraphic process, where archaeologists precisely record each level and the location of all objects. Key Points for Global Prehistory • Art making • The earliest peoples were hunter-gatherers (until about 12,000 years ago) who created imagery in many different media—fired ceramics, painting, sculpture and who built architecture.

  • Antiquity and Authorship of the Chauvet Rock Art
    Rock Art Research 2007 - Volume 24, Number 1, pp. 21-34. R. G. BEDNARIK 21 KEYWORDS: Pleistocene rock art – Aurignacian – Dating – Cave bear – Ethnicity ANTIQUITY AND AUTHORSHIP OF THE CHAUVET ROCK ART Robert G. Bednarik Abstract. The veracity of the carbon isotope dating att empts relating to the rock art in Chauvet Cave is reviewed, together with the merits of their criticisms. The att ribution of the cave art to the Aurignacian is validated by several factors and stylistic objections are refuted. The question of the ethnicity of the Aurignacian artists is also considered, leading to the cognisance that they are very unlikely to have been ‘anatomically modern’ humans. There is currently no sound evidence that the ‘Aurignacians’ were not robust Homo sapiens people, i.e. Neanderthals or their descendants. The gracilisation humans experienced in the Final Pleistocene and Holocene is att ributed not to evolutionary processes, but to cultural intervention through breeding preferences leading to the neotenous features characterising present-day humans. Introduction However, the use of stylistic argument (i.e. rhetoric The most painstakingly studied and also one of based on untestable cognitive processes involving the most pristine Palaeolithic cave art sites known autosuggestion) needs to be questioned.
